Fun fact: I always thought Blade Runner was Logan's Run, so when I saw Blade Runner for the first time, I kept waiting for Harrison Ford's hand to glow. This is a small part of why I did not like Blade Runner.

I have been listening to movie podcasts lately and just playing around what format I would have if I were to have my own movie podcast.
It would be a new movie, then two or three older movies that would have something in common with the new movie type thing. That way people would be encouraged to watch other stuff besides the newest at the theater.
in that everything it does, it does perfectly. It does not put a foot wrong. Every character, every actor, every scene could not be any better than it already is.
And yet it's not in my top five.
This is something I can definitely understand. I have lots of movies like that.
But I think 2001 rises above that. Ever since it came out, it's been debated viciously, loved and hated passionately, yet still manages to be held in such high regard. It's on a pedestal, and it's earned that spot. Critically, historically, culturally, it's consistently relevant and awesome.
In Bruges is great at doing something that a lot of other movies have done before. 2001 was and still is in a league of its own.
Best movie ever? Maybe not. But it sure as hell deserves to be high on that list.
You know in regards to movies that I liked, but never want to watch again I would say Munich is at the top of the list.
It's such a journey, but it's exhausting and I don't want to go through that again.
If you want to talk amazing films that I will never ever watch again: Irreversible. A friend made me watch it and it is fucked up, but holy shit is it a powerful experience. Would I recommend it to people? No way in hell. But again, damn.
Also, Changeling. What a suckerpunch that was. (But on the other hand, I would totally recommend it to people.)

Irreversible is one of those movies that is beautifully filmed, and dammit I would recommend it despite the grotesque stuff if it weren't for the rape scene.
I still refuse to allow that scene to play completely anytime I watch the movie, I always fast-forward through it.
Solaris is the top of the list for me. The Russian one. Fuck that movie took it's damn time.
I used to think that was his most accessible movie, but now it's the only one I never really feel inclined to watch again. And I god damn love that movie.

What gets me is that it somehow manages to finish on an upbeat note, despite all the terrible stuff you know is about to happen to everyone.
I can understand not wanting to watch the rape scene again. But I hope you don't fast forward if you're showing it to people who haven't seen it before. I mean, that scene is kind of the point of the movie. It makes the viewer take part in something that is really, really fucking awful, from the point of view of the victim, and refuses to let up. It's not a movie I'd show to people, but if they're going to watch it, they really should see the whole thing.
Of course, that scene is pretty much the prime reason I could never watch the movie again, so...
I Spit On Your Grave is probably a movie I shouldn't be able to watch as much as I do. That scene is even more unrelenting than Irreversible's. Though nowadays, I pretty much only watch it with the Joe Bob Briggs commentary as he defends it as being the most feminist movie ever made. He makes a semi-persuasive argument.

Dancer in the Dark is at the top of my list.

Stalker I could watch any day.
I find it to be all of those things. My friends and I all watch that movie once or twice a year for fun.
But I also like watching Tarkovsky movies as a fun way to kill an afternoon. So I may have a skewed perspective.
Can't wait to start my Satan's project

You're looking for a Britney song in Philip Glass.
You're looking for a Calvin and Hobbes comic in a Monet.

Bronson and Mifune. How could I miss it?
Seeing Bronson being thrown around like that was pretty odd to see. But Mifune was the man to do it, so it worked out.
bronson wins in the end
god yeah that scene
if it weren't for the "Holy shit look at Malin Akermin's body" factor I would skip it too

Yeah see I can just skip it
Though I always rewatch any scene with Dr Manhattan's blue wiener

That dong is experiencing every sexual experience Dr Manhattan ever had or will ever have simultaneously, all the time.
It's a miracle it's ever flacid.

can't help but watch it in every scene
gotta know how it's reacting to what's going down.
And all I could keep thinking was how Zack Snyder had not managed to choke on all of that pretension while making the film.
Satans..... hints.....
But when Dr. Manhattan walked out with his blue space/time dick blurred out, I considered making a sizable donation to the FCC.
